Are you a Traditionalist, a Conservative, or a Moderate? Or are you on the end of the spectrum, either as a Radical Traditionalist or Progressive? Are you a Catholic in good standing or one who needs to study more as well as be a bit more humble?

What is your philosophical/theological outlook?
- Thomism/Neo-Thomism: Aquinas, Suarez, Garrigou-Lagrange
- Communio: Von Balthasar, Ratzinger, De Lubac
- Concilium: Rahner, Kung, Schillebeeckx
What do you think of the papacy?
- The Vicar of Christ, successor of Peter, but the Chair of Peter has been vacant since 1958, so there is no pope currently.
- The Vicar of Christ, successor of Peter, and protected by the Holy Spirit from error on faith and morals.
- The Bishop of Rome and head of the Church. He can and has taught errors on faith and morals before. He needs to admit these mistakes and modernize the Church where appropriate.
Thoughts on Vatican II?
- The Council is in continuity with prior councils. It is valid and teaches no errors whatsoever, in fact, having many deep insights in various passages. It however has been misinterpreted
- There is a rupture in continuity between the Church before the council ("Pre-conciliar Church) and after the council ("Conciliar Church"), but this rupture is bad and should not have happened. It teaches errors in several places and should be discarded.
- There is a rupture in continuity between the Church before the council ("Pre-conciliar Church) and after the council ("Conciliar Church"), and this is good, since the Church was closed off to the world and needs to read the "sign of the times" so that she can accommodate the world.
Development of Doctrine or Evolution of Doctrine?
- The Development of Doctrine does not change previous teachings, but is a deepening of our understanding of those previous teachings. As such, development can never be a contradiction.
- The Evolution of Doctrine allows for the changing and reversal of previous doctrines that were found to be wrong.
Thoughts on Salvation & Hell?
- Feenyism: Only baptized Catholics may be saved. Everyone who is outside of the Church is condemned to hell.
- Exclusivism: Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation, thus His Church is necessary for salvation. The ordinary means of grace are found in the Church, but extraordinary means of grace can be given to those outside the Church. Hell is not empty.
- Dare We Hope: Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation, but people in other religions may be saved by obeying their consciences. We can dare to hope that hell is empty.
- Pluralism: We are all going up the same mountain towards God, but we take different routes going up. Thus, people of all religions can be saved and hell is most likely empty.
- Universalism: The idea of hell is simply incompatible with a loving God, thus everyone will be saved and hell does not exist.
How should the Mass be celebrated?
- The Extraordinary Form is the only valid form and the Novus Ordo is invalid
- The Extraordinary Form and Ordinary Form are both valid, but I prefer the Extraordinary Form and would like to see it become the only form said in the Roman Rite.
- The Extraordinary Form and Ordinary Form are both valid and legitimate, my personal preference is for the Extraordinary Form and would like it to become more common.
- The Extraordinary Form and Ordinary Form are both valid and legitimate, my personal preference is for the Ordinary Form. I would like to see a Reform of the Reform with the Ordinary Form to make it more reverent, with Ad Orientem (to the east), Latin, and smells and bells being inserted in the Mass.
- The Ordinary Form, with the priest facing the people and more popular hymns. I would like to see a limit of the Extraordinary Form, it creates division.
- Same as above, but with the option for new ideas from the community (eg. liturgical dancing, contemporary music, and special theme Masses).
When it comes to the Church's moral teachings on abortion, LGBT issues, divorce/remarriage, and sexuality, I think...
- The Church is right and these teachings cannot be changed.
- The Church is right, but needs to understand that these are sometimes too hard for people to live up to and not demand perfection.
- The Church is wrong in some/all of these areas and needs to change them in light of modern understanding.
What should be done about pro-abortion Catholic politicians?
- Excommunication and exclusion from the sacraments until they repent. It is for the salvation of their soul.
- No excommunication, but denial of communion.
- No excommunication or denial of communion, but speak out against their position. We cannot weaponize the Eucharist.
- This is a matter of personal conscience and the Church needs to respect that.
Women Priests?
- No, the Church has spoken and this is never up for debate
- Yes! The all-male priesthood discriminates against women from positions of authority and need to include them more in those positions.
Thoughts on Ecumenicalism?
- No discussion or dialogue with other denominations. Period.
- We can discuss with other denominations, but with the goal in mind of them entering into communion with the Catholic Church.
- While we cannot be in communion with non-Catholic denominations, we should try to cooperate and make our world a better place. Proselytizing other denominations is a distraction from this goal.
- We ought to not only be in dialogue, but be willing to learn from other faith traditions, letting go of some of our traditions that are exclusive.
What should be the main priority of the Church right now?
- Reversing Vatican II
- Implementing Liturgical Reform
- Evangelization of a Post-Christian World
- Synodality
- Social Justice/Environment
